8.29mm Chapter 1
Advertisement
15 millimetres is all that separates me from the world. 8.29 millimetres is all that pushes it back. Hun Liuxing was staring at her full head and face helmet and a single rifle round grasped between her fingers. Hun Liuxing is the paragon of foreign indoctrination. She did was she was told to do, and more. For her God. A while ago, she was an adopted child in a wealthy family, and lived comfortably. But no longer. After the destruction of her house, she was homeless in a country that wasn't her own. Her name wasn't even in her native language. Hun looked up. She pondered at the ceiling of her stucco house. Loading the rifle round into her magazine, She glanced at the pistol holstered on her waist. She giggled. This CV19 probably didn't even qualify as a pistol. She unbuttoned her fatigue top off, but left the brown undershirt and armor on, just in case. All she wanted to do was live a peaceful life. But she was now on a crusade for the good of the common people. Unlike others, her sleep was not peaceful. It was plagued by horrid dreams and interruptions in her REM cycle.
She had one dream, which she considered a vision, and fate. In it she lay with a major concussion, two fatal gunshots in her abdomen, and a knee bent at an angle in which only a compound fracture would allow. Her rifle was nowhere to be found, and the CV19 was clutched like a blood-stained teddy bear in her left hand. All this occured in the center of a perfectly white room with no exits, with blood splattered on the walls. At least the room would have been perfect. Liuxing instantly calculated that if all the blood across the room was hers, she would be unconscious. From what felt like the sky, she heard what sounded like angelic singing. It was getting closer. Beckoning from the heavens she could not see, something told her to stand up. I can't. Hun finally realized not even her willpower could stop a mangled knee. It appeared as if a thousand other voices joined the harmony. Liuxing now had to. Hoisting herself into a kneeling position, she started bawling. Her knee wasn't getting any better. Her head bent, tears streamed down her tanned and surprisingly pretty face. She slowly looked up, and her tears dried. She saw the most beautiful thing anyone had bled in front of. Thousands of clouds illuminated by a golden sunset suddenly filled the sky. A choir of hundreds of white robed and perfect, glowing angels filled the sky. Hun soon discovered her jaw was broken when she smiled, and began to look down and cry again. Struggling through the pain, Hun cried one sentence fragment. "I'm tired." One robed figure in particular spoke in a soothing voice. "It's okay. You can rest. Please, come back when you need us." The angels faded upwards along with Hun's vision. She chambered a round from a new magazine in her CV, lay on her side. While her eyes were closing for the second time that night, she knew she what she needed to do the next day.

Trailblazer
The story of a man who accidentally wrote another world into existence. Everyone breaks away from their mundane daily life in one way or another. Our protagonist, an unfortunate consequence of circumstance, being no different, often escaped the harsh reality of life by writing stories of an alternate world of swords and magic. Though he recognized the difference between reality and fantasy, he could've never imagined what would happen, when the line between the two blurred as lightning struck down from the skies, and his escapism fantasy became all too real... After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak. Groundbreaking quality is probably not something to be expected, but I do my best to keep things readable. With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.

Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.

Legend of the Guild: Point Blank
Status: On hiatus indefinitely, because I'm going to be busy and the story is now at a place where it needs major reconstruction. Curt is a young gunslinger from a small town called Ore Town, situated in a barren wasteland known as the Dusts. While sabotaging the gang threatening his town, Curt is forced to take a leap of faith, literally. He plunges into the sea of clouds expecting death, only to arrive in an entirely new world beneath his own. Saved by a young girl using magic, Curt isn't too sure what to make of his second chance of life. When he meets a fellow Duster who had fallen years ago, he's roped into becoming second-in-command of a brand new guild. Guild duties aren't easy, especially as Curt is tasked to recruit fighters to take on the Grand Guild Tournament, where the winning guild takes home an enormous prize pool -- and most importantly, a mysterious ticket to the fabled "Star City" that exists above the clouds. Going with the flow only takes him so far, and Curt soon finds himself burdened with more responsibility than he bargained for, including the fate of the two worlds. ==============================Wordpress This webnovel is written for fun, and everything posted is essentially a first draft. Beware of typos and lack of creative descriptions — my main priority is to get the story out over writing quality. Still, I hope you enjoy the story. Updates are sporadic, but I aim to release a chapter (~2000-3000 words) at least once a week. Average release time is 1 chapter/3 days. I took inspiration from the lore of the MMO, Dungeon Fighter Online (Dungeon & Fighter), and there may be easter eggs or references to the game, but the story and characters have become wholly original and standalone. [Note: Profanity tag is up because profanity is present, but infrequent]
